What are you guys using for music under your offroad helmet to connect to the Varg phone with a music app?
I tried a bluetooth intercom unit, but the earphones hurt my ears inside the helmet.
I also tried the airpods but they just fall off every time I put my helmet on.
Any recommendation?

Great question!

I used to have these. They worked okay. I was able to put the helmet on, and they stayed in. But they were 10 years old and didn't hold a charge anymore.

I replaced them with Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro by Anker. I thought I would love them, as they are awesome in all other applications. But they stick out from the ears more and it is extremely tricky to put on the helmet over them. It is not the bottoms of the long sticks but the tops of the stese sticks that stick out farther from the ears. So, I will keep looking.

Maybe some newer version of Samsung earbuds would work.

I use them with the Lap Trophy app on my Stark phone. They tell me my lap times and sector times. This works better than a personal trainer with a pitboard.

I have these cheap TWS 5.1 wireless earbuds. I can get my helmet on without them falling out, but they almost always fall out taking the helmet off. I usually just ride with one in so I can hear/ talk to other riders. Any low profile earbuds should do the trick.

I connect them to my personal phone, I tried connecting them to the Stark phone so I could switch music while riding, but the Stark phone won't let you change out of the driving display while you're moving.

Thanks Philip for the input, the in-ear buds with the vacuum rubber ring feel weird so hopefully someone has a better suggestion, thanks.
